I've been writing a series of essays for PBS on men whose style I admire. The latest is about James Baldwin, a man who knew how to sing through clothes.

Elon Musk is a unique threat to the stability of the entire globe. He is out of control, idiotic, operating with complete impunity, and controls vast amounts of public attention with his self-owned platform. He is literally a global security threat

I made a decision long ago to not react to every thing that Trump says, because him saying anything doesn't mean something is going to happen.
But for the avoidance of doubt, if you think a surrender deal can be imposed forcefully on Ukrainians, then you don't know Ukrainians.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Facts. Love Adam’s insights
The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.”
Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity.
The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.
